|  iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Cry Babies Well, the $200 price cut on the iPhone may have made many Apple fans whose pockets aren't that deep pretty happy, but it has annoyed some early adopters who bought the thing when it came out a mere two months ago. The 8-gigabyte (GB) iPhone has had its price cut to $399, which is $100 less than the price of the 4-gigabyte iPhone when it debuted at the end of June. Speaking of the 4-gigabyte iPhone, it's being phased out. You can pick one up for only $299 through the Apple outlet, while supplies last of course. While price cuts this steep are relatively rare in the world of electronics, they are not completely unheard of. Particularly in the world of cell phones, quick and drastic price cuts are quite the norm, especially for high end feature phones. When the MotoRAZR first debuted, it was a $400 phone, but within a few months, it was down to $249. By year's end, the RAZR was only $99. Even the Samsung BlackJack saw its price cut in half, from $199 to $99 after only three months. A price drop after only two months is unprecedented, but it comes with the territory of new gadgetry. So to those whining about how Apple ripped them off -- get over it. (Now, if you're one of the lucky few who bought over the past two weeks, you may get a refund at your nearest Apple store.) From USA Today HAhaaaaaa this really teached me that patience is a virtue... if it hadnt been for them servicing through At& T I would have been a crybaby too! |

| I don't get why people are so shocked/upset. This ALWAYS happens with new products, especially with tech stuff. Get a grip.. no one made you what in line like a crazy person.  |

| It's always better to get any new electronic item a half year - year after it comes out. They've improved them and also come down in price!!

| Maybe I'm cheap but I'd never pay that much for a phone, reduced price now or not.

And my very first VHS tape was $25.00, now you can get them in the Dollar store ..... and I bet there are a lot of teens asking, "What's a VHS tape?" .... such is the way of technology ... oh and also, remember what a computer cost in 1994??? Big difference now ... same with cars ... they know what they are going to present in 5 years from now ....
